Busy Farm
Things are about to get busy at the "J&S Ranch"...or whatever we end up calling it. Eggs sales are through the roof...demand well outdoing supply. Three huge piles of construction materials sit outside waiting to be utilized, a series of windows will be picked up in Edmonds by our beloved and saintly Serb brother. Three yards of crushed gravel will arrive today (where on earth will it get dumped?!?!?!), and Sue....I forgot...we need to get the fence posts! LOL
Sue has more pics of our goats and their visit to Maplebrook Farm.
The loss of a chicken remains a mystery. Perhaps it teleported?

Well, we arrived on friday the 29th of September, stayed our first full day on the 30th and had our first Sunday at Church the following day on the feast of the Protection of the Holy Theotokos and I can still recall being moved by hearing Fr. C describe the details about this feast...one Antiochians don't emphasize much.
"Pokrov Ranch and Farm"

"Pokrov Farm" rolls nicely off of the tongue, FWIW (skip the "Ranch"...implies Texas Longhorns). "Paradosis Farm" would get a lot of "how do you pronounce that again?". Ferrenberg Farm is an awful lotta alliteration (even though we Fallins use it...must be an "F" thing).
I'm done rambling now.
n.
1. An extensive farm, especially in the western United States, on which large herds of cattle, sheep, or horses are raised.
2. A large farm on which a particular crop or kind of animal is raised: a mink ranch.
Doesn't really fit.
So whatever the name...should end in "Farm"
Patroness of "chicken farmers, dairy farmers, dairy workers, dairy maids, poultry farmers, poultry raisers" and just to add a little more sugar to that for more votes (not that it has anything to do with farming but I know who reads this!) she is also the patroness of "boatmen, mariners, sailors, and watermen"
My official vote:

Who would RENT a pig? And why?
"Brigid's aged mother was in charge of her master's dairy. Brigid took charge ,and often gave away the produce. But the dairy prospered under her."
